At one point, I realized that I’d been there for more than an hour – just enjoying the view, reminiscing the scenes from the drama, and taking lots of pictures. It was as if I was standing from the rooftop of a tall building overlooking the city! The weather was also nice when I was there. It’s really fun for an MIDIGB fan like me to visit this location, considering a lot of scenes from the drama were filmed here (including the garbage segregating scene in episode 9, which took place at the top of the staircase).Īside from being a filming location in my favorite Kdrama, I also appreciated the amazing view from the top of the staircase. Although I didn’t realize how high the staircase was going to be – that definitely took me by surprise! I must say that this was the highlight of my MIDIGB trip: the ‘staircase’ going up to Mi-rae and Hyun-jung’s dorm! Just as what Marion KDL said to me when I sent photos, I too think the staircase looks better in real life.

On foot: Hyehwa Station, Seoul Subway Line 4, Exit 1 My ID Is Gangnam Beauty (2018, episode 15) Directions For me, I love how this restaurant’s pink floral design complemented Kyung-seok and Mi-rae’s outfits. In episode 15, Kyung-seok and Mi-rae passed by the front of this restaurant when they went to eat lunch outside Kelun, because Mirae didn’t want Soo-a to feel uncomfortable since they’d told everyone that they’re dating. The entrance of Rock-Q Karaoke will also be on your right. On foot: 2 min from Teruwa Café - walk straight down Bokjeong-ro (with the café on your right). Refer to directions for ‘Teruwa Café’ above. My favorite scene here is the rain scene from episode 12, but you can find out more about the other scenes filmed here on its respective listing (click above!). Check the bus stop or your preferred navigation app.įrom Café Teruwa, it will take you only about 2 minutes to reach the next filming location: the entrance of ‘Berlin Bar’ (which is actually Rock-Q Karaoke - Bokjeong Branch). There are also other alternative buses that you can take from that stop that will alight you at Dong Seoul Univ. Note: According to the Naver Map app, the instructions say to take Bus 462, however there’s no such bus that passes by the Jangjidong Bus Stop. After just two stops, you’ll be able to see the bright yellow café across the road on your right, from the bus stop.

Kyung-seok confessed his feelings to Mi-rae, but she rejected him out of worry and fear about what people would say or think about her dating the most popular guy on the campus. Teruwa - Dong Seoul University Branch Photo taken by © Iris27, September 2018įirst on my list was Café Teruwa, where the heartbreaking scene between Do Kyung-seok (ASTRO’s Cha Eun-woo) and Kang Mi-rae (Im Soo-hyang) happened in episode 12 (one of my favorites). Here’s my experience visiting some filming locations in MIDIGB! ? Stop 1 With the scenes and emotions still fresh in my memory, I decided to look up some locations of key scenes in the show, and make that part of my travel plans. I must say the timing for my trip was so right because I’d gotten really hooked on My ID is Gangnam Beauty (MIDIGB), which ended its run on September 15. My trip this past September was my fifth time in the country, and certainly no different!
